The elderly can be presented as a group of patients at high risk for developing covid-19 with progressive and rapid clinical deterioration including neurological manifestations. Many reports have emerged showing that SARS-CoV-2 infection has an impact on neurological function, and even causes serious neurological damage. Purposes: to investigate the possible correlation between aging process to the severity of neurological deterioration experienced in COVID-19 infection specifically by elderly people. Methods: literature searching was conducted through PubMed, MedLine and Embase. Results: Regardless of age, the infection of SARS-CoV-2 to both central and peripheral nervous system could lead into a range of neurological deteriorations, in which also ranging in forms and severity. Conclusion: In elderly patients, despite of comorbidities, the natural degeneration process is likely being a risk factor of more severe neurological symptoms of Covid-19 infection.
